                               Experienced Counselor and Teacher
After completion of an M.Ed. in Counseling and postgraduate studies at the University of Virginia, I provided counseling services at community mental health, Hospice, American Cancer Society, and a women’s shelter in Charlottesville, Virginia. In 1995, I earned a Virginia LPC license and established a private practice, offering counseling services for individuals and couples. Two years later, I was guest instructor at the University of Virginia Graduate Counseling Program, teaching The Use of Expressive and  Experiential Techniques in Psychotherapy.


                                        

                                           A Journey of Discovery

My professional and personal life has been one of exploration and transformation. Traveling deeply into my own healing path, I discovered sand play therapy and psychodrama and the power of imagination and intuition, uncovering the gold that is hidden in the shadows of our wondrous selves. My experiences opened a voyage of discovery that continues as a commitment to live my bliss and to accompany others as fellow explorers into your own authentic being.
                                                          Opening to the Transcendent
In 2000, I moved from Virginia to Eugene, Oregon. Becoming a Master Teacher of Usui Reiki, tarot reader and teacher, and ceremonial leader, I continued to bring the transcendent and the sacred more fully into my own being and into my work.  I presented this innovative counseling perspective in an Oregon Counselors Association program, Sandtray Journeying in Ceremony and Ritual. I also taught Sandtray Journeying in the Graduate Counseling Program at Oregon State University in Corvallis. Today I live and work in Bend, Oregon, where I continue to offer my services for those seeking their own intuitive wisdom, personal power, and passion.  

                                                    Long-Distance Counseling and Support
Often clients who do not reside in this area would like to work with me regarding emotional and spiritual matters, so I now am also credentialed to provide long-distance counseling nationally via telephone or computer.  In addition, as a Usui Reiki Master and tarot reader, I offer these services for those who do not live in my area. Contact me to schedule a session and work out payment arrangements.
